Were seeing a version of the same arc in both Dolores and Williama host and a guest who have jointly but independently begun to question everything they know about themselves. Dolores arc is deliberately obscured fleeing from Logan, her mind jumps schizophrenically between the past and the present as she finally reaches the church that ultimately represents the center of the maze. And as the episode ends, the Man in Black arrives to join her, setting the stage for the massive revelation weve been primed to expect all season. But while Westworld happily plays to the contingent of viewers who are in this for the fan theories, Im still convinced that the more interesting version of the show remains in the moral and philosophical underpinnings of the characters.

And Bernard himself was created by Dr. Ford in Arnolds image, after the real Arnold was killedanother notably sentimental flourish for a man who publicly prides himself on his ruthlessness. These memories are designed to make us rethink everything we know about Bernardbut as each little revelation was parceled out, I couldnt stop thinking about Dr. Ford, and what this creation can tell us about his character. Think about how much time and effort it would have taken for Dr. Ford to rebuild his departed friend from the ground up. Imagine the countless hours fussing over the tone of his skin, or the gleam in his eye, or the wrinkles on his hands. Ford brings Bernard to life for the first time, he immediately corrects the robot on the way he cleans his eyeglasses, explaining that Arnold used the affectation as a moment to collect his thoughts. Ford was thoughtful enough to notice the gesture, and perceptive enough to intuit the deeper meaning behind it.
